It was a futuristic film about the protagonist trying to get out of the big metropolis in less than 24 hours. In the NFL during the 1970s, there were plenty of protagonists who were trying to do the same thing, albeit in a slightly longer time than just 24 hours. But be it the New York Giants, the New York Jets, or the Buffalo Bills, there turned out to be quite a few pro football players who found a way out of the Empire State to what they felt were greener pastures.There were quite a few Hall of Famers who left their New York teams and went to other NFL teams during the 1970s, with mixed results......

Episode Description: What's the wildest thing you've ever found hidden in a wall?
I highly recommend Football, Chuck Klosterman's latest book. In this podcast, we discuss his trenchant and personal exploration of the sport, along with the following topics…* Are we primarily writers or podcasters?* Many believe that young people are correct about the future, but few think they were smarter as young people* Will opinions change less often now that we are publicly anchored to opinions?* Would Chuck lie if his privacy was violated to procure damning information?* Why do we want coaches to be scary assholes? * Chuck asks me if I scream at my kids* Why Mike Holmgren screamed at Andy Reid* The media driven ego battle between Bill Belichick and Tom Brady* Why television dominates our sports memories for games we saw in person* Do we want football to stay American?* Has history forgotten Roger Staubach?* Chuck has been a closeted Dallas Cowboys fanHouse of Strauss is a reader-supported publication.

The Margin of Error: Reflections on a Wild Divisional WeekendThe NFL Divisional Round is behind us, and if there's one thing we learned from the "Pig Pen" this week, it's that the gap between a "Super Bowl favorite" and "watching from the couch" is razor-thin.Hosts Darin Hayes and Ed Kleese sat down to recap a weekend defined by emotional endings, coaching carousel chaos, and the polarizing performances of the league's top young quarterbacks. Here's the breakdown of the action.The Josh Allen ParadoxThe most debated game of the weekend took place in Denver. While the Bills are heading home, Ed Cleese offered a staunch defense of Josh Allen. The narrative? The Bills have failed to give Allen a margin for error."It's very difficult in the NFL to always operate with zero margin for error," Ed noted. While Allen made mistakes—including a costly fumble before the half—he is often required to play "Superman" just to keep Buffalo in the game. When other quarterbacks like Sam Darnold or Drake May advanced this weekend, they did so despite average performances because their teams stepped up. For Allen, perfection is the requirement, and that's a heavy burden to carry.The "Buffalo Curse" and the Catch RuleThe game ended in typical Bills fashion: controversy. The James Cook play sparked a massive debate on social media. Was it a catch? Was it an interception?Despite rooting for the Bills, Darin and Ed put on their "officiating hats" and agreed that the refs actually got it right. Under the NFL's "surviving the ground" rule, Cook never established himself before the ball popped out into the defender's hands. It's a tough pill to swallow for Western New York, but a consistent application of a confusing rule.CJ Stroud's Playoff "F"Perhaps the most disappointing story was Houston. After a stellar season, CJ Stroud struggled immensely in Foxborough. While the Patriots' defense deserves credit for smelling blood in the water, Stroud looked rattled and "in his own head."Darin raised a tough question for Texans fans: Do we have the right guy? While Ed isn't ready to move on after only three years, the "playoff choker" label is starting to stick. In the NFL, you're only as good as your last game, and Stroud's last two outings were, in Ed's words, "an absolute F."Caleb Williams: The Human Highlight ReelThe weekend closed with a snowy, frigid battle between the Rams and the Bears. Despite the Rams gutting out a win, all anyone could talk about was Caleb Williams' late-game heroics.Watching a quarterback run 40 yards backward only to heave a dime into the end zone is the "Caleb Williams Experience" in a nutshell. It was incredibly lucky, slightly ridiculous, and purely athletic. While the Bears fell short, the explosive potential of their young QB was the talk of the night.The Caleb Williams Experience: Luck or Skill?The snowy battle between the Rams and the Bears left everyone talking about one man: Caleb Williams. Watching him run 40 yards backward only to heave a dime into the end zone was the highlight of the weekend."He's a physical marvel," Ed noted. While there's luck involved in those playground-style plays, it takes elite arm talent to throw a "rope" with that kind of velocity after escaping pressure. Darin even suggested Williams might be the next "Captain Comeback" in the vein of Roger Staubach. However, the "Experience" isn't all highlights—his overtime interception reminded everyone that he still struggles with pocket consistency. Despite the loss, the Bears fandom is officially alive.Championship Weekend: Big Predictions, Bigger StakesWith the field narrowed to the final four, Darin and Ed are deadlocked at 96 points each. To break the tie, they're doubling the points for Championship Sunday. Here is how they see the title games shaking...

In his 15th season in the NFL Fran Tarkenton was having another great year. Maybe his best. The Vikings would start the season 10-0 and finish 12-2 atop the NFL Central in large part to the numbers put up by Tarkenton. He completed 273 of his 425 attempts, 25 of them for touchdowns to lead the league in those 3 categories. And when the season concluded, he would take home the Most Valuable Player Award for the 1975 season. After three more very successful seasons in Minnesota, Tarkenton retired after his 18th year in the NFL. He finished his career with numerous NFL records at the time including completions (3,686), attempts (6,467) yards (47,003). and (342) touchdowns. Known as the 'Mad Scrambler', Tarkenton was the game's first true dual threat, retiring as the NFL's all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback and he did it all by winning games… the most ever by a QB at the time of him hanging it up. He was named a Pro-Bowler 9 times, and had his #10 retired by the Vikings while being named one of the 50 greatest Vikings and Giants players of all-time. And in 1986, he earned a gold jacket and was enshrined into Canton as a member of the NFL's Hall of Fame. Unfortunately his success didn't translate to the postseason. Three times he took his Vikings teams to the Super Bowl and three times they came up short. But Fran tells us on the Past Our Prime podcast there is a reason the Vikings lost 4 of the first 11 Super Bowls. He also tells us about his love and admiration for the coach of those Minnesota teams, Bud Grant, and how if he could prepare for those Super Bowl games from back then differently now the results may have been different. Tarkenton also tells us how the loss to the Cowboys in the playoffs in 1975 was a “monumental day” in his life… one that changed him forever. Minutes after Roger Staubach connected with Drew Pearson on possibly the first ‘Hail Mary' ever, his life was forever altered. A tragic tale only made worse by how it all unfolded. Once retired, Fran embarked on his 2nd act and 50 years later, he's still as competitive and active as ever and more often than not… still coming out on top. As the CEO of https://tarkentonfinancial.com/ Fran continues to produce at a high level. His financial company has seen him rise to the top of the business world and he tells us how he stays up to date on the newest business trends like pipIQ which reduces risks associated with misusing AI in small and mid-size businesses at a fraction of the cost. If you're interested in learning more about this breakthrough technology go to https://pipiq.com/?via=proTV Fran tells us that the similarities between being a QB in a huddle or a CEO in a board room are numerous. That he learned more by his failures than by his successes and that the great leaders all have one thing in common. What is it?

In this powerful episode of NFL Players: Second Acts, Hall of Fame running back Emmitt Smith sits down with hosts Peanut Tillman and Roman Harper and shares why after his legendary shoulder separation game he said, “If I’m gonna die, let me die in Dallas.” Emmitt opens up about what it meant to be named to the NFL’s All-Time 100 Team—an honor he says holds even more weight than making the Hall of Fame. He reflects on his final two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and how that chapter helped him find closure and prepare for life beyond the gridiron. But the conversation doesn’t stop at football. Emmitt shares how he built a successful business empire in real estate and construction, leaning on mentors like Roger Staubach and Magic Johnson, and how a chance encounter with Michael Jordan sparked a lasting connection. He also drops wisdom for current players on why investing in themselves now matters most.

Emmitt shares how he built a successful business empire in real estate and construction, leaning on mentors like Roger Staubach and Magic Johnson, and how a chance encounter with Michael Jordan sparked a lasting connection. He also drops wisdom for current players on why investing in themselves now matters most.

In this episode, Jeff recounts pivotal moments that shaped his career—from working in the mailroom at Mesa Petroleum under T.

Episode 293: “Dynasty Established” - Super Bowl XIII (Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys)Episode 293 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're concluding our block on some of professional football's best postseason games of all time.In this episode we're discussing Super Bowl XIII between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys.In what was a rematch of Super Bowl X, both the Steelers and Cowboys battled to become the first NFL team to win three Super Bowl titles.In a game which featured Hall of Fame coaches (Chuck Noll and Tom Landry) and dozens of Hall of Fame players on both teams, Super Bowl XIII was the most exciting installment of this game to this point in history.Pittsburgh's offense found success against Dallas' “Doomsday Defense” towards the end of the first half, and quarterback Terry Bradshaw threw three touchdown passes to John Stallworth (2x) and Rocky Bleier to give the Steelers a 21-14 lead at halftime.The Cowboys mounted a great second half drive against “The Steel Curtain” and could've tied the game at 21-21 until tight end Jackie Smith dropped a Roger Staubach pass which forced a field goal.Pittsburgh responded with a huge Franco Harris rushing touchdown, and took advantage of a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Bradshaw hit Lynn Swann on the first play from scrimmage for a touchdown which put Pittsburgh's lead at 35-17.To the Cowboys' credit, they responded in the fourth quarter and made the game 35-31 late. Sadly for Dallas, they ran out of time, and Pittsburgh became the first team to win three Super Bowls.Terry Bradshaw won Super Bowl MVP in the only game of his career where he threw for 300+ passing yards. Moreover, the Steelers established themselves as the NFL's: “Team of the 70s.”Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #pittsburghsteelers#dallascowboys#cowboys#nfl#superbowl#nflplayoffs
